Malaysia will observe the Islamic festival of Eid al-Adha, known locally as Hari Raya Korban or Aidiladha, on June 7, 2025, according to the Assistant Secretary of the Conference of Rulers, Datuk Mohd Aseral Jusman.
In a broadcast by Radio Televisyen Malaysia (RTM) last night, Datuk Mohd Aseral announced that the first day of Zulhijjah 1446H will fall on May 29, 2025. This marks the beginning of the month leading to Eid al-Adha, which will be observed nationwide on June 7.
The declaration adheres to the command of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, with the consent of the Rulers, as stated by Datuk Mohd Aseral.
Eid al-Adha is one of the most significant Islamic festivals in Malaysia. It commemorates the act of obedience by Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) in his willingness to sacrifice his son as commanded by God. The celebration includes special prayers in mosques, the sacrificial slaughter of livestock, continuous acts of charity, family gatherings, and communal feasts.
This festival is a time of reflection, gratitude, and unity among Muslims across the country, serving as a reminder of God's mercy and the prophet's unwavering faith.
On May 29, 2025, Zulhijjah 1446H will begin, marking the start of the month leading to the national observance of Eid al-Adha in Malaysia on June 7. Amidst the festive preparations, the nation's politics and general news will likely be filled with stories of family gatherings, community feasts, and acts of charity, all traditional aspects of this significant Islamic celebration.
